    Summary

    Emilia waits in the doorway, watching. Chris throws her a smug smirk when he looks over his shoulder and catches her checking him out. Then he turns the corner and it's the last that she sees of him for over a month.

    And if she'd known that at the time, Emilia would have chased him down and dragged him by his belt loop back to her place, whatever bullshit, take it slow promises be damned.

    Or:

    Chris disappears again and Emilia expects to spend her time working to get him back, not trying to keep Adrian on a leash, like he's some kind of shelter dog waiting for his owner to return. She also doesn’t expect to end up not minding it as much as she thinks she should.

    Summary

    "What the fuck, Adrian?"

    He blinks at the sudden hostility. "What, what the fuck?"

    "You killed Chris' dad."

    "Yeah." Adrian shrugs. "So?"

    Harcourt stares up at Adrian, her face all splotchy and red. He stares right back down at her. Neither of them move or even blink for a long moment until something finally flickers across Harcourt's stoic face.

    Fear.

    It's fear and Adrian knows it is because he's seen it on enough people's faces when they've stared up at him during their final moments on Earth.

    And good, he thinks, she should be afraid. He could kill her right here and now so fucking fast that she wouldn't even know what hit her. She'd be dead before she even knew that he had a weapon in his hand.

    He could do it.

    It'd be so easy.

    Adrian turns on his heels and walks away instead.

    Or:

    Adrian kills Earth-X Auggie and faces the aftermath.

    Summary

    All his life, he'd gone back to Auggie, time after time, hoping, begging, for a scrap of anything, any bare thread bit of love, only to get a boot in the fucking teeth. Up until he put that bullet through his dad's head.

    This time will be different, Chris tells himself. New dimension, new him. He's not going to fuck up this time. He's been putting in the work, trying to be better, and now the universe has rewarded him with an opportunity to really put it to use.

    Or:

    Chris has a sandwich with his new dimension dad and has some feelings about it.

    Summary

    Adrian Chase is weird.

    It's just a known fact of the universe. The Earth is round, the sky is blue, and Adrian Chase is a weirdo.

    He was a weirdo when Chris knew him as a kid. He was a weirdo when he only knew him as Vigilante. And now he's just as weird, if not weirder, as just Adrian. And Chris highly doubts that it's something he's finally going to grow out of in his early thirties.

    So explain to Chris why it always take him by surprise when Adrian does something fucking weird.

    Summary

    "What are you two doing?" Ben asks.

    "Strengthening our necks and keeping our heads nice and round." Johnny answers. He taps Franklin on the nose with his finger. "It's very important, huh, little man? We want a pretty, round head, don't we?"

    "Is that what's wrong with your head? No one gave you any tummy time?"

    Franklin, the traitor, giggles.

    Summary

    Over the past six months, Stone's learned a simple truth: you either get Ivo Robotnik, or you don't. Either you're blessed with the knowledge and recognition of his greatness or you're not. There's no in-between.

    Unfortunately, the majority of people fall into the latter category. In fact, Stone thinks that she may be the only person on Earth that gets it -- that gets him.

    Summary

    Bucky Barnes stares down at his phone as it rings, and rings, and rings.

    He stares at the picture filling up the screen and mentally weighs the merits of answering or of sending Sam Wilson to voicemail.

    Summary

    “Look at the camera.”

    Robotnik looks dead at the camera and furrows his brows, looking scared, a little confused, maybe even hurt beyond his bruised ego. His bottom lip wobbles pathetically. He has a specific pair of wide eyes in mind as he rounds his as much as possible.

    His voice waivers just a little when he says, “Stone, help me.”

    Or:

    Agent Stone's record for search and rescue after a kidnapping is two hours.

    Robotnik wonders if he can make him beat it.

    Summary

    Here's the thing though, Stone has killed before. He's killed men in cold blood for the government, for Robotnik, and -- in another life -- a good paycheck.

    But right now, at this moment, he can truthfully say that he wasn't a tenth as nervous murdering people then he is saying to Ivo Robotnik, "Your roots are showing, Doctor."

    Summary

    Sam glances down at the familiar number flashing up on the display and sighs deeply.

    Bucky’s calling.

    As if he’s made a wish on a monkey’s paw, Sam got his distraction, but at what cost.

     

    Or:

    On their way to Camp Echo One, Sam gets a call.

    Summary

    Penny feels like she's on the precipice of something big. Like when her toes are hanging off the side of a skyscraper that's too high up to clearly see the ground.

     

    She does calculations when she's web swinging. She has to or else she'd be a grease spot on the L train tracks. But she doesn't have a calculation for this leap. It's blind, impulsive. She has no idea if she'll soar high above the skyline or fall flat on her face.

     

    Penny Parker is now Penny Stark. She has been for a while now, but some days she doesn't feel like a Stark. Sometimes she barely feels like a Parker. When she walks into the Daily Bugle's office, she's hoping to change that.

    Summary

    "We need to talk." Pepper says.

     

    She announces it over the fabulous steak dinner that Tony had cooked just for tonight. It's one of Penny's favorites and a blatant attempt to make this talk as pleasant as possible. The ole sugar with medicine routine.

     

    Tony, who had been fully briefed on the issue last night, just nods and takes a sip of his wine.

     

    Penny, who hasn't been briefed yet, looks like Pepper just told her that she's being dropped off at an orphanage tomorrow morning.

     

    After Penny's seventeenth birthday, a reporter leaks the adoption to the media. Tony claiming Penny as his biological daughter seems like the best move. It all goes well until it doesn't and Tony finds himself zip tied to a chair at Penny's birthday party, staring down the barrel of a gun.

    Summary

    Tony hears footsteps echoing in the building. They get closer and closer.

    Oh good, he thinks, fuzzily. Someone's come to put him out of his misery. He's hoping it'll be some run of the mill low level Hydra agent. Killing Iron Man would definitely get them promoted. And good on them, Tony thinks, advancing their career like that. He'll send them some flowers posthumously.

    He may have a concussion.

    A hand smooths his hair back and he flinches away violently. His eyes snap open -- when did he close them? -- and Natasha is looking down at him.

    "You're muttering."

    "Hello, Judas." He says through chattering teeth. "I'm glad they sent you to do the job. You'll make it quick and painless, right? Like Old Yeller?"

    "I’m not here to kill you, Tony."

     

    Natasha brings Tony home after Siberia, and even though she's a fugitive now, he can't seem to get her to stop coming around.

    Summary

    Tony quickly finds out that saving Penny from Mysterio is only half the battle.

    "The footage ends there because two hours later Penny was rescued. Tony doesn’t turn it off though. He just stares at Mysterio’s bare face and tries to think if he’s ever hated anyone this much before."

    Summary

    He gets the idea that night while he's lying on top of the guest room bed that Pepper says is his now, pretending to sleep.

    It's a bad idea.

    It's terrible, really. Easily one of the worst he's ever had and that's saying something.

    There's a mix of voices in his head that sounds like every adult that's ever tried to parent him warning him that's it's a bad idea.

    But it's too late. The seed has been planted and Peter starts planning.

    Or:

    Peter Parker creates an AI.
